Players on Twitter. Insight into character, Swann and Anderson sound like twits.

Anyone been following these 2 clowns on twitter?

What a couple of clowns. Both have been hammering on about this lad's bresnan's weight for days now, really is cringeworthy stuff. Especially coming from Swann, who isn't exactly slim himself.

It's alright to have a joke, but to keep hammering on about it in a public domain is pretty childish IMO. Especially, when its a young fella who is obviously a bit sensitive about it, considering, he lost the plot and abused some random fella who joined in on the childish banter.

Heres a few selections from Graeme " I am so good" Swann. '

"once more i apologise for the tweets of timmy "resorts to violence when all the doughnuts are gone" bresnan. please bear with him"

Hilarious.

"if anyone is gpoing to photoshop bres could you airbrush him a bit? no one likes to see a 120+ kg man on twitter"

Insightful.

"ha ha just had my grammar corrected by someone about bressies foundation. go watch zoolander dickhead!!"

Charming.

"should we start some sort of foundation; the timmy bresnan centre for kids who don't read or write good...and have shit banter!!"

Not such good grammer from yourself either Swanny.

"only joking, bres isn't really fat. he's cool, one of the best guys i know. agggh stop punching me you fat c***"

Once again, an English cricketer making a fool of himself on and off the field.

; what do you call an epileptic lettuce? seizure salad

How tasteful.

These couple of fools should concentrate on their game, and lifting England out of their ODI mediocrity instead of tweetering every waking moment of the day.

How cringeworthy.

I reckon that both of those accounts are fake.

Look at how many people are following them. If there is heaps of them then it is the official twitter. If they are only them then it is fake.

Two minds about it. On the one hand it's team banter etc, on the other it's in the public domain.

Seems to be a problem in that members of the general public have been ribbing Bresnan about his weight which has tipped him slightly over the edge.

Most of the accounts listed above are genuine (Swann, Bresnan and co).

I have seen some that I thought were fakes. It's the same when you go looking for any of the sporting teams Twitter accounts. Some of them are fake.

Im not against Banter, but one thing you have to consider is that this has been going on for days now and its probably gone a bit too far.

Just looks childish to me, and looks unprofessional when you consider the on field performance England just treated us all to.

This reminds me of what Phil Hughes had said on Twitter and he had caused his own axing from the Aussie team for venting his spleen on twitter

You're pretty much correct in your thinking here. It has gone too far, which is the result of having team banter in the wild. What is fine within the confines of the team can take on a different meaning when all and sundry are privy to it.

There is also the issue of the medium used, as twitter (and forums such as this) are unable to convey body language or the normal voice inflections which enable us to understand if it's ribbing, sarcasm and so on. All you have is text on a page which carries no emotion, only the meanings of the words themselves and how you personally interpret them.

If their coaching staff find out what they have been typing up they will be in a lot of trouble.

Would have been a classic to see that photo of Bresnan though, must have really tipped him over the edge.
 
Re: Players on Twitter. Insight into character, Swann and Anderson sound like twits.

I think this is quite poor and I hope that the ECB give them a talking to.I think that players need to understand that the information is in the public domain. This should never have been allowed to have been posted. Certain leagues and teams have banned social media usage to ensure that situations like the one mentioned on the thread does not happen.

Tim Bresnan has apologised over expletive-laden Twitter rant, says Andy Flower | Sport | guardian.co.uk

I like that Swann actually has a personality, which is more than can be said for 90% of international cricketers. Bresnan, Swann and Anderson are all good mates, and yes, the joke got a little bit out of hand, but to suggest that it shows an 'insight into their character' sounds a lot like more post-ashes mud-slinging

Nah the limbo club have got too much time on their hands. You can see that by them following me around all the time and copying and pasting whatever it is I have posted up and then adding their own stupid comments to it.
 
Re: Players on Twitter. Insight into character, Swann and Anderson sound like twits.

Although I'm sure certain people have no idea what the phrase 'on topic' means this thread has wandered far enough.

Sooz - leave you're battles with other sites on those sites. Seriously, we're not interested here.
